Shaving comes down to science. Finding the blades that work for you is half the fun of wet shaving.
Many things come into play with how a blade will work for you. What kind of skin you have, what kind of hair you have, how well your skin is hydrated, how well you hair is hydrated, what kind of soap you use, what kind of brush you use, what kind of razor you use and how you take care of your precious face post shave. So this review is based on me and what works best for me. This may work for you. Or not. Try it.I love these blades. I use to use only Feather and Bic blades after trying a massive variety pack years ago. I settled with feather for my expensive blade and BIC for cheaper blade. I bought some of these Voskhod, some persona lab blues, and Kai blades to try out recently because they were not in the variety pack i used a while back.I don't care for the Kai blades they seem to be a very mild blade in terms of irritation but they don't seem to cut that well, definitely not anywhere near Bic or feather so if you have a sensitive face these might be good for you.The Persona Lab Blues seem to cut better than Kai but not as well as Bic but are even more mild than Kai which is great but they cost more than feathers which are already expensive. There are die hard fans out there. Im not one of them. You might be.Voskhod is a little more or just as mild as persona lab blues and just as sharp with Teflon coating and a little sharper and just as mild as lab blues and almost as sharp as Bic after Teflon wears off (Teflon wears off after about a half a pass or a single full pass). These Voskhod are half the price of Feather and less than half the price of persona labs but more expensive than BIC by a couple dollars for 100 pack.If you want to spend money and don't have a sensitive face use feather. They are the sharpest out there. And coupled with an aggressive razor like an open comb or slant they blow away any beard around, at the cost of not being anywhere near mild on your face and larger learning curve for less experienced shavers. Throw the blade is a mild razor and get a great middle of the road shave. However the feather blade goes dull after a shave or 3 depending on your hair and how many passes per shave you do. I will never stop using these.If you want a very cheap costing blade with almost as much sharpness as feather, but a little more forgiving go with BIC. In an aggressive razor it feels a lot like feather but still not there in terms of cutting power but close. Bic are not only half the price of feathers but also seem to last about 2 times longer before being dull, practically making these around 25% of the cost per shave as feather. I have noticed that these blades are not that great in a mild razor but in an aggressive razor is where these blades shine.If you want a razor that is leaps and bounds more forgiving than Bic in terms of being mild and almost as sharp as a BIC get this blade. At only a couple dollars more for a 100 pack over Bic these are still 50% of the price of feather and thanks to the Teflon at the beginning of the first shave these blades seem to last an extra shave or 2 over Bic. Putting these blades at around the same price per shave a Bic. These blades are now added to my rotation and almost replaced the Bic if it wasn't for Bic being a little sharper and cheaper.In closing, for me I use Feather, Bic, and Voskhod. Feather for cutting power, Bic for less cutting power but easier on the skin, and Voskhod for a little less cutting power than Bic but double the forgiveness to skin. All depends on how much growth I have and how lazy I feel. Don't shave with a feather when half asleep you will look like a cat attacked your face. Grab the Voskhod next time.

Amazing blades, much cheaper than Feathers.
These razors are top notch! They're quite sharp, but also have a degree of forgiveness, that makes them one of my go to blades at the moment. I haven't come across a bad blade yet, and even with very coarse facial hair, if I wanted to, I could probably get 5 shaves out of each blade. I definitely recommend trying them out if you haven't tried these infamous blades yet. I'm sure glad I did!

Great blades for tough beards Better than Feathers on my face
I found here on Amazon where somebody recommended these Russian blades and I bought a pack. After trying them I instantly bought 100.I have a tough beard and switched to the double edge razors a couple of years back. I have and use Wilkinson Sword and the Japanese made Feathers. The Wilkinson are a little less aggressive and slightly less sharp. The Feathers are indeed sharp and I can get two shaves from them. For my tough beard and now softer skin the Feathers have put a few cuts on my face trying to get extra close shaves with them or making a double pass on my face.These Voskhod are the best blades I have used. They shave my face closer than the Feather blades and I have not received a single cut from them. It is close enough that if you are going for "the look" I don't have to shave the next day. I can get 3 shaves from them.The only negative I can see is that these reviews are going probably going to cause them to increase in price.

Razors and Blade agression levels need to be ballanced...... Voshod Blades Win ~!
DE Razors and Blades DO NOT WORK independently. After two years of my Shave Channel DE Shave Talk with Kit I have come to this conclusion. Voskhod blades are the one blade you can find your most aggressive razor or most aggressive razor setting on adjustable razors in order to get your SMOOTHEST AND CLOSEST SHAVES. I made so many mistakes going with too aggressive blades and then not being about to use aggressive enough razors to get a good shave. Voskhods are not dull blades by any stretch of the imagination. They are just the smoothest shaving sharp blade I ever tried. It took me quite awhile to learn this but, I have one favorite razor now ( Razor Rock , Game Changer .84 )it gives perfect shaves every time and I use NOTHING BUT Voskhod Blades . I don't think you could go wrong by getting Voskhod blades and work to find the perfect aggression level setting on your razor. Two year update .. I am still using Voskhod blades but I wanted to address this question concerning the Sharpest blade on the market "Feather" versus the Voshods. First a Voskhod blade give two decent shaves per blade for me and so does Feather. Voshod blade 7 cents each Feather blades 37 cents each. Now here is the kicker. Both blades will give you a great shave but for me the real question is how? With the feather you have use a very different technique because they are so sharp you must cut your pressure while shaving quite a bit or you will be cutting you face a lot. The Voshod is just so much more forgiving and smooth to shave with. I can apply more pressure safely and because of that I get a better head shave with Voshods blades. So experience DE shavers can get a great shave with either blade but unless you like throwing away 30 cents more every two shaves I will always choose the Russian Voskhod blades ~! Kit .... DESHAVETALKWITHKIT on YouTube .Sept 3rd 2024 OMG these blades have more than doubled in price since my last 100 pack. Since Putin doesn't want the US Play money any more and the dollar not being so popular in the world it is a wonder we can still buy these Russian Blades at all?
